execution of which was intrusted to Mr.. Charles

forth in a torrent of argument against his po-

with the sentiment expressed. and it will at
once strike the beholder as possessing power
unusual in portrait statues. Technically it is SUI
perior in its local qualities of flesh and drapery
textures, but these are wisely subordnated to
the dominant idea Of the internal lightning that

speaks well and with JUNCTION. At Madrid he
has grouped the episcopate round the court and

A DIPLOMATIC SCANDAL,
A Repetition of the Caracazy Trouble-A
Senator's Wife and French Secretary.

Repetition of the Caracazy Trouble-A
Senator's Wife and French Secretary.
Washington Special
Society circles are again stirred by q scandal
involving people of high position and some finan-
ces figure in the case. There has been SO much
talk here concerning application. which it is
almost officially stated, that a prominent and
wealthy Senator has made to Secretary Bayard.
that it is clear it may become matter of as
much international comment as was the
cessful demand for the recall some years ago Of
M CatacaZy. Russian Minister to this country.
The demand in this case is for the recall of
Count Maurice Sala. first Secretary of the
French Legation, and the demand has it's cause
in domestic reasons. The Senator has very
handsome wife who has been a leader in society
here Count Sala, in another matter connected
with the wife of q wellknown society man in
New York. has been the subject of very acute
gossip at Newport, where be was a visitor last
summer He is a relative of the lady, and she
has divorce suit pending against her husband.
The Senator called on the Secretary to-day, and
it is generally understood that the diplomatic
steps necessary to secure the attaches recall
will be at once taken. This is the third diplo-
matte scandal of this last year, the first being
that of the young Gillian attache. whose ex-
PLOTS brought him frequently into the police
court; and the second that of the member of an
other legation, who was connected with the loss
of some articles taken from the house OF we'll
known Washington resident.
